Gay support group criticizes Mormon leadership

Associated Press/October 11, 2008

Leaders of a support group for gay and lesbian Mormons on Saturday
criticized their church for its efforts to ban gay marriage in
California.

Olin Thomas, executive director of Affirmation, says The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is using fear to sway voters.

On Nov. 4, California voters will decide whether to ban same-sex
marriage in the state's constitution. The Mormon church is part of a
coalition of conservative groups working to pass Proposition 8.

Thomas says church leaders were wrong when they said last week that
failing to pass the proposition would force churches to sanction
same-sex marriage and require schools to teach children that gay and
heterosexual marriages are the same.
